What are my expectations when it comesto TW:3K
It's actually quite broad, I am hopingfor lots of factions which judging from what I have read on theforums there will be no shortage. I am also hoping for some uniquecampaign play that will give China it's own unique game play flavor.I am expecting smooth game play from day one of release.
I am hoping CA takes advantage of thatmotion capture studio they made sure we knew about when Rome II cameout. I want to see unique animations. The obligatory groan kick isgetting old in Attila. I am not expecting an Avatar conquest doesn'tmean I don't want one. I would even pay for it separately.
Back to the motion capture animationsstudio of CA. I feel they dropped the ball on this when they had theopportunity to show the proper throwing of the Plumbata. The Plumbatais a throwing weapon that the Romans had very similar to a lawn dart.It's thrown underhand. Had they been able incorporate that into thegame it would of brought the game to another level. I am hoping theydon't get complacent with the uniqueness of TW:3k.
I am also looking for historicalaccuracy in unit detail. I am expecting it to be epic, more so thenany of it's predecessors. I would also like to see some spin offgames dealing with Korea at a later time.
These are a couple of my expectationswhether realistic or not we will soon find out. I am not a computerguy but I see threads on a new engine and stuff like that for thegame. I decided not to comment on things I don't know anything aboutin that regard.
